Not sure how much the Big Mac is discounted with a Meal. Maybe the price of the burger remains steady, and the fries and drink are discounted?

next time i'm in the drive thru i will pose that question.

So you do eat maccas.

I can admit my guilty secret shame then too. Yes once a week I visit our favourite scottish restaurant.

At a time like this im glad i live in new york city. Public transportation for me all the time. Except late nites when i might indulge by taking a cab.I make a point of tipping the cabbie extra now because they still charge the same fares. Unless they accuse me of ruining the interior of their car.

Its so nice not having to feel guilty about buying gas. The less you own, the less you have to compromise yrself.

i don't even look at the price. (just fill the bleedin tank up)

The highest I've seen here in chicago was $3.89 drop now to $3.29. If it keeps going we are going to hit the 4 dollar mark soon.

My landrover eats 1 gallon every 11 miles. Anyone want to buy it???

This is exactly why I got myself a nice and sensible car.

Gas is less than $1 per litre again! Oh happy day!!
